#Lonely Wolf - Analysis of Cards/DP/Scenarios

[Caitlyn0]

it looks pretty good. the only thing i would change is up the EA to 4.

a small note, if you like rabid bite use it. i carry 2 in my solo DC. timing it is crucial.

Tbh I find myself sacrificing EA more and more since DP. I don't really find it that useful after taking out rain delay from the deck.

But yes if you are running 4 x Rain Delay it can easily be bumped up to 4.

It's a struggle to decide between Captured Prey and Rabid Bite. I tend to be flexible

ei dude, use spectral saber as a back up weapon. works as dual purpose to remove attachments or 8dmg burst.

I used it for a while and found the 2 durability a problem when used as a weapon, but what you are saying is in theory a good idea, good enough to do some more testing perhaps.

Ok, so I'm really pretty new to all this, so please don't hurt me...

I've always liked ally-less decks, and play around with Baduruu from time to time...

Saw this n thought i'd give your deck a go! Having an absolute ball with it too. The only problem i have, and i have this same problem with Baduruu, is that a good half the games i play see me draw no weapon the first 4 rounds of combat, and usually by then it's game over. How do you pros tackle this scenario?

If you draw no weapon, this happens don't worry.

What you should have in your hand is at least 1 draw card (Blood Moon, Bad Santa). Turn 2 Blood Moon is what you are aiming for here to maximise the possibility of drawing a weapon.
Then Get as much of the other cards out, Speedstrike, Lone Wolf, Evil Ascendant. I would say Lone Wolf should be prio turn 4 because that extra +2 HP every turn will keep you alive a bit longer.

With no weapons taking down opponents allies gets more important so use all Now you're mine and Captured Prey that you feel is needed to lessen the hurt.

If you have a bad santa and 4 or less cards in your hand, don't hessitate to play it at this stage, you need that weapon, so be damned if the opponent gets a few cards as well.

Also don't worry to much, your shadow energy is building up so you will be able to strike hard once you get that weapon.

Last tip would be to maybe try the slight variation of my deck I'm running now. Due to testing out Spectral Saber to take down (mainly warriors) attatchments. With Spectral Saber in the deck you will have 2 extra cards that are weapons.

That's funny, i actually put in a few Spectral Blades myself! The whole 2 durability is a little worrying though, when I'm forced to use it as a weapon. hah. What did you replace to fit in Spectral Blade?

EDIT: Saw your edit. Only 2 captured prey...you're braver than i, haha

Do you worry that only having 2 of so many cards will make the deck feel too....*random*?

- 1 x Now You're Mine
- 1 x Captured Prey

+ 2 x Spectral Saber

Yeah 2 durability is a problem but Fangs of the Predator and Spectral Saber has won me games I would have lost, and on more then one occasion. So the 4 + 4 damage is really a threat.

Also removing Warriors +10 health Enrage is always fun.

[Zelasaurus]

Been giving it a try with one less Now You're Mine (i prefer it over Rabid Bite too) and Captured Prey for the Spectral Saber...gotta say the extra ally control from those instants is hard to give up! though that may be because I'm such a new player...

Decided to replace the Cresent of Doom and keep the 3 of each instant, It's working pretty well! My logic was that I was starting to feel like some matches i had TOO MANY weapons, and there was rarely a call to switch the unlimited durability 1 attack weapon for the limited kind. The +1 damage versus allies is nice, but Fangs of the Predator affords that, while still doing the extra damage to heroes...course what do i really know *shrug* heh

One question though, Is there a specific reason why you use LLN over Acid Jet? I'm finding the limitations on LLN rather frustrating.

Comme ca!
